Yes there still are "Traditionalists" that want to interact with FFXI The way it is developed and how the Dev team intends.
Below i'm including comment i posted in another topic that applies here.
Here's my solution: 8 Step process:
1>Declare or create a server designated as a "Traditionalist" server.
2>Bolster that "Traditionalist" server with a dozen champion tier GMs with bolstered data analysis tools for detection of adverse third party program/application use.
3>Require user acceptance of enhanced data analysis prior to access to the "Traditionalist" server.
4>With sufficient evidence any account in violation of FFXI ToS would be relocated off the "Traditionalist" server to a single declared "Anarchy" server.
5>Accounts relocated to the single declared "Anarchy" server would be barred from server transfers.
6>New "Traditionalist" server would allow for complimentary transfer for accounts in good standing from any existing server.
7>To access the new "Traditionalist" server, a one time lifetime purchase for access to this server of suggesting $240.00. This would guarantee lifetime access for one account including 16 unrestricted character slots and lifetime access to both wardrobes 3 and 4, standard, for as long as that account remains a resident of the "Traditionalist" server.
+ To encourage coordination and collaborative play on all servers:
8>Modernize/Upgrade the seacom (/seacom) menu functions described or close to this description if possible;
{ Create communications channels based around the traditional /seacom categories. Can use /c or /w as a designation beginning.
Examples: /cExp /cBattle /cMission /cQuest /cItem /cLinkshell /cSocial /cOther
Upgrade + Enhance + Overhaul the /seacom interface to include instructions about usage, instructions about etiquette, and the ability to search for key words displayed in the /seacom entry of any character that is displaying a /seacom.
Allow a /seacom to be set for each individual category with a blank /seacom being designated as disabled for that category. In this way each player can enable and display a /seacom for Exp ~ Battles ~ Missions & Quests ~ Item ~ Linkshell ~ Looking for Friends ~ Others.
With the enhancement of the /seacom interface for quicker search results; create and allow for content tags to be attached to /seacom.
Example: a /seacom applied to the Exp category could be tagged with a level range bracket selection and desired vana'diel area.
Example: a /seacom applied to the Item category could be tagged with a item type selection, a crafting source selection, a battle content type selection, a level usage selection etc, a auction house inventory category selection.
Detailed Example: Utu grip could be entered with text into the display of a /seacom under the {Item} category and then be tagged with {Omen} {LVL99} {Battlefield} {Grip} {Reisenjima}
Detailed Example: Sublime sushi could be entered with text into the display of a /seacom under the {Item} category and then be tagged with {Cooking} {Food} {Synthesis} {Meals} {Seafood}.
Allow for up to seven tags to be attached to each active /seacom.
